Image description
The image shows an older man seated, holding a green book in his left hand against his knee. His right hand is holding the book open. He appears to have a fair complexion, grey wavy hair, and is dressed in a dark suit with a white shirt and cravat. He has a slight smile and is looking directly at the viewer. The background is a simple, muted brownish tone.
